I got my lift and wheels on now and got my alignment done just recently. I've been reading up on here a lot about alignments and I'm not sure if my alignment specs are correct. Can some of you guys chime in and help me out on this?

I've read it's suppose to be...

Camber 0*
Toe 0*
Caster 2.4*

The manager at Firestone said they couldn't get to those specs. What can I do to get this correct? I have light race UCA's, are they suppose to adjust the UCA's?

When you installed the UCA's, did you set the ball joint to the 2* + setting?

x2...i made the mistake of installing the ball joints backwards and my alignment was all sorts of messed up. Make sure the SPC Logo is facing you when your looking at it installed. You'll want the rounded edge of the ball joint plate facing the truck w/ SPC facing you (or the tire)

I want to see if I move the ball joint face me if that would help out on the bump steer and get it all things to specs....I thought have the UCA's installed would help out with all that. It drives straight, I just want the bump steer gone and I do rub the body mount right now too but only in reverse with wheel turn all the way.

If it rubs now, it will rub WAY worse, once you move the joint further back. You'll just have to decide which you want to live with: Bump Steer or Rubbing.

Making the SPI face out towards you and positioning the joint as far out on the A arm as possible should give you factory caster.
